If you were waiting up late in hopes of checking out the schedule for the first round of the 2015 postseason, you are in luck. Here’s all the information that the league shared about who’s playing when (updated with a format that’s a little easier on the eyes, via NHL.com):

While the NHL decides its new CBA, college hockey will be starting on time and this year, NBC Sports Network will be bringing you 20 games worth of action.

This year’s schedule features matchups from Hockey East, the ECAC, CCHA and WCHA. The season kicks off with the Icebreaker Tournament from Kansas City, Missouri in October and closes out with the Hockey East tournament including the quarters, semis, and finals in March.

As for the schedule, soak it in as our cameras will be heading to campuses across America including legendary venues like Lynah Rink in Ithaca (January 25), Hobey Baker Rink in Princeton (January 11), Alfond Arena in Orono (February 15), and Magness Rink in Denver (three times).

Defending national champions Boston College will be featured in a monster weekend pair with rival Boston University on November 30 and December 1.

The hockey world won’t know if the Boston Bruins or Tampa Bay Lightning will take on the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup finals until Friday night. Fans who want to set their schedules around the Cup finals won’t have to do any guesswork about which nights they can watch the games either way, though.

Here’s the schedule for the 2011 Stanley Cup finals, including where you can watch each game.

Let’s make no mistake about it; the first round of the 2011 playoffs is going to be tough to match. There were nine straight nights with at least one overtime game, including two Game 7’s that went beyond regulation. Those eight series featured plenty of comeback wins and high-pressure hockey.
